Introduction To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we recommend that you first consult with your physician or trained healthcare professional. Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings. The method of measurement that your Automatic Monitor uses is called the oscillometric method. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery in your arm and converts the movements into a digital reading. The oscillometric method does not require a stethoscope, making the monitor easy to use. Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to measurements obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.

Why Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home?
Product Identification & Caution
Many people experience “White Coat Syndrome”, which is a temporary elevation of blood pressure during a visit at their physician’s office. Although only temporary, it can cause blood pressure to rise and give a false indication of a person’s true blood pressure.
Speaker Digital Display AC Adaptor Port Battery Compartment
Whether or not you experience “White Coat Syndrome”, home blood pressure monitoring provides: 1) The opportunity to supplement your physician’s office measurements. 2) An accurate indication of any change. 3) A record to assist your physician in evaluating your health and making important decisions. 4) Consistent, daily measurements of your blood pressure.
SYS.
NOTE: Variations in your individual readings should only be interpreted by your physician or trained healthcare professional.

General Blood Pressure Information
Arm Cuff
What is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the pressure that is exerted by blood flowing against the walls of the blood vessels throughout your body.
Tubing Connector
POWER Button (on/off)
MEMORY Recall Button
Your heart, which is the center of the circulatory system, provides the force for the blood to flow or circulate. When your heart contracts or beats, the blood is forced through the blood vessels increasing the pressure. This is the highest pressure in the cycle or what is referred to as SYSTOLIC blood pressure. In between beats, your heart relaxes and your blood pressure decreases. This is referred to as DIASTOLIC blood pressure. This complete series of events, which occurs in a single heartbeat, is known as the CARDIAC CYCLE.
CAUTION: You can stop the inflation or deflation process anytime by pressing the Power button.
Your MABIS Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor will automatically read your blood pressure and display both systolic and diastolic readings on the screen. Your systolic will be positioned as the upper number and the diastolic reading will be the lower number.
(systolic)

120 80 (diastolic)

–5–
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters (mm) of mercury (Hg) and is generally recorded with the systolic pressure (120) listed first and the diastolic pressure (80) listed second. The numbers are typically separated by a slash mark (/) as shown. Both pressure readings, the SYSTOLIC and DIASTOLIC, are necessary for a physician to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.
Variations in Blood Pressure Blood pressure is influenced by many factors and can change from moment to moment. Normally, blood pressure is lowest during sleeping periods and rises during the day. The graph below represents variations in blood pressure shown over a day with measurements taken every 5 minutes.
Please contact your physician for specific information regarding your own blood pressure.
The dotted line represents the sleep period. The rise in blood pressure at 1 p.m. (A in the graph) corresponds to a stressful occurrence and at 7 p.m. (B in the graph) a period of exercise.
What Influences Blood Pressure? Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, anxiety, muscular development, certain medications or even the time of day can influence blood pressure. Influences such as sleep or relaxation decrease blood pressure, while anxiety or exercise increase blood pressure.
WHO Blood Pressure Classifications Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO) as shown on the following chart:
